STAFF of a city centre restaurant showed Chester's MP their skills in a bid to help ditch their 'McJob' tag.

City MP Christine Russell visited workers at the Foregate Street McDonald's outlet who want to put an end to the stigma of working for the fast-food chain.

Mrs Russell's visit was part of a nationwide campaign by McDonald's to have the word McJob redefined by UK dictionaries.

The Oxford English Dictionary currently describes it as 'an unstimulating, low-paid job with few prospects'.

A McDonald's spokesman said: 'We believe the 'McJob' definition is out of date, out of touch with reality and, most importantly, an insult to those talented, committed, hard-working people who serve the public every day in the UK.'

Representatives of the worlds of business and education also attended to discuss skills in the workplace.
